Nice draft! Here's one remark: You use 550 as response code when the user isn't allowed to use the HASH command, but I find that 550 is otherwise often used for file-not-found in both SIZE, RETR and other responses. Wouldn't it make sense to have a "file not found" response for when you try to HASH a non-existing file? Wouldn't it make sense to re-use the same error code (550) for that as other command use? Maybe the "HASH not allowed" case can use 552 or 553? -- / daniel.haxx.se
